Directed by S.S. Rajamouli, the film introduced audiences to the fictional kingdom of Mahishmati, setting the stage for a saga of power, betrayal, and legacy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Baahubali: The Beginning, S.S. Rajamouli has announced the re-release of the film as a single, re-edited version titled Baahubali: The Epic. This new version combines both films into a seamless cinematic experience, featuring remastered visuals and audio, along with some new content. The re-release is set to premiere in U.S. theaters on October 31, 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Rana Daggubati, who portrayed the formidable antagonist Bhallaladeva in the film opened up on how it changed his life. \u201cI think it\u2019s not just me. I think Baahubali changed the life of every filmmaker in this country and every film audience in this country. The audience too \u2013 the way they watch things, make things. Everything changed, and now it\u2019s a decade since the first film\u2019s release, and it\u2019s coming back,&#8221; said Rana.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">When asked if he is feeling old, Rana laughed and said, \u201cI\u2019m not feeling old. I\u2019m actually feeling lucky because I didn\u2019t do any film this year, but I still know Baahubali will release and still become one of the biggest phenomenal things that happened, and it\u2019s coming in a form that you never saw before. Both the films are coming together as one in a remastered, re-edited version and we are really excited and can\u2019t wait for that film to come out again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Interestingly, Rana was not the first choice for the role. Director S.S. Rajamouli had initially considered an international star for Bhallaladeva, but Rana\u2019s audition convinced him that the character needed someone with a strong presence and intensity, qualities that Rana brought to the screen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The Baahubali series is celebrated for its monumental scale, intricate storytelling, and groundbreaking visuals. The first film, Baahubali: The Beginning, was released worldwide on July 10, 2015, and was followed by its sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, on April 28, 2017. Together, the films amassed a staggering Rs 1,810.60 crore (approximately US$275 million) at the global box office, with Baahubali 2 alone grossing Rs 1,796.59 crore (US$275.43 million).<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Shreyanka Mazumdar\" title=\"Shreyanka Mazumdar\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shreyanka-mugshot-2023-11-8ef8dd88a71f919244a2d2ecf14e4f84.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shreyanka-mazumdar-25843.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shreyanka Mazumdar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shreyanka Mazumdar is Chief Sub Editor of the entertainment team at News18.
